America's Snookheart

Okay, so Snookie has a book coming out. What's the big deal? Is it really a shocker to anyone? Seems like anyone these days that has the slightest amount of fame, gets a book deal, and are on their way to becoming, ahem, aspiring authors. I watch the Jersey Shore, and find it entertaining just as much as the next guy. I wasn't at all surprised when I heard the news. Titled A Shore Thing, her "novel" will be about a girl trying to find love at the Jersey Shore. Sounds more like an autobiography. But why is everyone so upset? All the latest headlines about it basically had nothing good to say about little "Schnooks".
The six castmates on the show definitely have had a whirlwind year, from their trashy days on the shore, to club promoting, talk shows, and back to trashy partying in Miami for their second season. They're literally all over the place. I was most shocked to see them at the Grammy's earlier this year. I turned on my TV and was like WHAT?!?! MTV award shows I can understand, that's their gateway network, but c'mon, the Grammy's? Seriously? These kids basically do what every other young adult in their age bracket does: party hard; yet they get to have a show, and pay their dues by working at a gelato cafe. They're also not the brightest bunch of kids, but I think that's what makes us so fascinated by them. I think that since we can't fathom why they even have a show at all, we just continue to watch it, entertained, yet dumbfounded. 
So until the higher ups stop allowing these folks to make said appearances on such universal broadcasts, or society as a whole just stops giving a, ya know,  we're going to have to deal with them, and watch them as they fulfill their dreams. Kudos to their publicists! They're doing a great job. Who knows, maybe next we'll get "The Situation's Guide to Fine Italian Cuisine." See you at the book-signing.
